Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X100B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X100B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. Its short compact envelope saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X100B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X100B pushes a 100 mm bore through a 100 mm stroke with a 20 mm rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - never more one way than the other. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, -20 to 70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses and gantries where a full-length body cannot. As a planning figure, treat roughly 2260 N as usable work at 0.5 MPa - enough to lift about 115 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACE-series (ISO 21287) datasheet. Body: hard-anodized aluminium alloy; piston rod: S45C carbon steel with hard-chrome plating. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. A built-in magnet is OPTIONAL — add the -S code to fit CMSE / DMSE position sensors.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3770 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5278 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 769 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X100B Is Used
Stamping press ejector
The 3769.9 N both-ways output at 0.5 MPa ejects formed steel blanks from a die on the forward stroke and retracts the pusher plate with identical force, inside a 100 mm window.
Pallet strapper tensioner
A symmetric through-rod clamps PET strapping from both sides of the frame; the 20 mm rod resists the side pull of the tension head at 30-500 mm/s cycle speeds.
Robot gripper counterweight lift
The rear rod balances a welding-cell fixture: with about 115 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the second rod end carries the counterweight while the front rod does the work.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X100B the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per side at 0.5 MPa this bore sits well above the 63 mm size (1458.1 N) and below the 125 mm size (5890.5 N), so choose it when a 63 mm frame is undersized but the 125 mm body will not fit the envelope. Remember it does not hold position if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a suspended load. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles on the ISO 21287 face. This unit has no magnet; order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch positions.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X100B FAQ
Yes - equal both ways, because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area of the 100 mm bore. Figures: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
A fixed TPU bumper at each cover absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it is not adjustable and never locks a load - use a rod lock or pilot check if the piston must hold when air is lost. This ACED100X100B has no magnet fitted; ordering the optional -S version embeds a magnet so CMSE / DMSE switches can read position along the body slots.
